This property is typically measured using the De N
This property is typically measured using the De Nouy (duh-NOY) ring method and it causes a pressure difference as described in the Young-Laplace equation. It is caused since molecules exert small amounts of force on each other and thus molecules on the perimeter will experience a net force pulling them inwards. This property is typically measured in units of Newton per meter and is lowered by materials called surfactants. For 10 points, name this property of a liquid best seen in the ability of certain insects to walk on water.
